註釋Medal of Honor portrays eleven recipients of the award, from each branch of the military, and examines what drove them to go so far above and beyond the call of duty. Among the stories are an account of the life of the only woman ever to receive the medal, and of a soldier from the legendary WWII Japanese-American 442nd who went on to earn the medal in the Korean War. The book tells not only of astonishing military actions but also, significantly, of the recipients' lives before and after their wartime experiences. 60 Minutes reporter Mike Wallace also meditates on the meaning of courage and shows what we can all learn from these extraordinary individuals.
